UNION set operator:
The UNION set operator is used to combine the output of two or more than two queries and produce a result. The produced result contains unique values.
Syntax: QUERY UNION QUERY;
INTERSECT set operator:
The INTERSECT set operator is used to combine the output of two or more than two queries and produce a result. The produced result contains the values (rows) that are common in both the tables.
Syntax: QUERY INTERSECT QUERY;
MINUS set operator:
The MINUS set operator is used to combine the output of two or more than two queries and produce a result. The produced result contains the values (rows) that appear in the first table but not in the second table. The word “EXCEPT” can also be used in the place of “MINUS”.
Syntax: QUERY MINUS QUERY;

- Consider the following expressions, which use the result of a relational algebra operation as the input to another operation. For each expression, explain in words what the expression does. a. year 2009 (takes) ▷ student b. year 2009 (takes ▷ student) C. ID.name, course_id (student takes)arrow_forwardA phone company has set up the following database in order to be able to send detailed bills to its customers: CUSTOMER(Phone#,FirstName, LastName, City), CALL(CallerPhone#, CalledPhone#, Date, Time, Duration, Cost), The keys of the relations are underlined. Answer must be written in relational algebra On which days did all the customers make at least one call? Is there a way to write this in relational algebra without using count? Subject: MYSQLarrow_forwardThe course I'm taking is database management. I need help with part A and B please. I am using APEX Oracle compiler. I have attached the employee table. Part A - Implement a procedure in PL/SQL to check if employee is eligible to a salaryincrement depending on his period of service. If he had served for 6 months ormore he is eligible for an increment. Use an if-else statement and print if he iseligible for increment or not . Hint: add_months(hiredate, 6) function will give you the date after 6 months ofhiredate.sysdate is used in oracle instead of the curdate() function in SQL to get the currentdate. Part B - Write a procedure to add 2 numbers and display the resultarrow_forward
- What is the difference between scalar function and vector function in SQL DATABASE? Note: Question is based on SQL DATABASE.arrow_forwardWhat is the result of first performing the Cartesian product of student and advisor, and then performing a selection operation on the result with the predicates_id = ID? (Using the symbolic notation of relational algebra, this query can bewritten as σs_id=ID(student × advisor).)arrow_forwardWhat happens if we don’t specify the WHERE clause in an SQL DELETE FROM statement? a) statement compilation causes a “Syntax error”, and the statement is not executed. b) all the tuples of the relaton are deleted. c) none of the tuples of the relation is deleted. d) all the tuples not satisfying the condition are deleted. e) none of the above. Which one(s) of the following is(are) procedural? a) Relational Algebra b) Relational Calculus c) Tuple Relational Calculus d) Domain Relational Calculus e) SQL f) (a) and (e) e) (b) and (e).arrow_forward
- What is the result of first performing the cross product of student and advisor, and then performing a selection operation on the result with the predicate s_id = ID? (Using the symbolic notation of relational algebra, this query can be written as asid-ID(student x advisor).) marrow_forwardWhich of these statements is true about relation partitioning? It places different rows from the same table on different machines, allowing for the computing of different query predicates in parallel on different machines. It places different columns from the same table on different machines, which allows for computing different query predicates in parallel on different machines. It places certain tables on one machine and others on a different machine, allowing different query subexpressions in the same plan to be computed in parallel on different machines. It replicates and indexes data, which generally improves query performance.arrow_forwardConsider the following SQL Query: SELECT FNAME, DNAME FROM EMP AS E, DEPT AS D WHERE E.DNO = D.DNUMBER AND D.DNAME='CCI' AND SALARY > 15000; Draw the initial query tree for the above SQL query, and then show how the query tree is optimized by applying the Heuristic Rules. (You need to show the tree after applying a rule).arrow_forward
- Explain ALIGN & ASSUME.arrow_forwardTrue or False below: Given two relations named A and B, if we q-JOIN A and B, the maximum number of attributes in the result relation could be (the number of attributes of A) times(*) the number of attributes of B). * in an SQL SELECT statement means “all the tuples”. In relational algebra, Cartesian Product (X) can be implemented using the q-JOIN operator. Cartesian Product ISA q-JOIN where q-condition always evaluates to true. SQL is based on Predicate Calculus. A query in SQL always specifies what should be included in the query result.arrow_forwardWrite the relational algebra formula to apply a UNION relational operator to the tables shown in Figure Q3.13.arrow_forward
